[2025 Qingdao Stay] Travel Guide for the Westin Qingdao West Coast (Updated May)

We as a family celebrated CNY at the Westin Qingdao West Coast. Absolutely amazing I would recommend you to come and spend time at the Hotel with the best service 10/10 #tigeryear2022

The Westin West Coast is about 50 km from Qingdao's old downtown area, making it unsuitable for first-time visitors to Qingdao due to its relatively remote location. However, for weekend leisure or hotel stays, it's a very wise choice. The hotel is relatively new with artistic and aesthetically pleasing design and decoration, good food, and affordable prices. The hotel is adjacent to the World Expo City International Exhibition Center and Conference Center. The subway station is quite far, making public transportation inconvenient, so it's more suitable for those traveling by car. The hotel's exterior has a rounded shape, and the lobby and public areas feature a typical resort style with many artistic decorations. It also inherits some characteristics of the Westin brand, earning it a place among Marriott hotels in northern China and making it worth appreciating. I checked in to an executive room on the sixth floor with huge floor-to-ceiling windows offering an open view. From the room, you can enjoy the hotel and surrounding scenery! The hotel has excellent hardware and software, comfortable accommodation, good service, and affordable prices. Despite the inconvenient public transportation, it's still a great choice for a staycation! The guest rooms are spacious in both the living room and bedroom areas. The decoration style is traditional, leaning toward business hotels, with a spacious closet. Overall, it's quite comfortable! Especially the soft and comfortable bed and bedding - I love it! The room also provides beach slippers that you can wear outside. The welcome fruit selection and quality are quite good. The large floor-to-ceiling windows in the room offer an open view, although the scenery is not particularly outstanding. I experienced breakfast at the Seasonal Tastes restaurant on the first floor. The breakfast area continues the style of the lobby, with decor full of artistic atmosphere. The restaurant is located at the edge of an atrium, and sitting by the window allows you to enjoy the garden landscape in the atrium. The quality of breakfast is quite high, with excellent braised beef brisket with radish, shrimp with cabbage, freshly made jianbing (Chinese crepes), and more. There are also noodles and wontons available; fruits and bread are also abundant. The service is very attentive, whether from the restaurant staff or the ladies at the lounge! The gym and swimming pool are located on the sixth floor and are excellent. The gym has a great design style, is spacious, and is divided into several different areas so that multiple groups can use it without disturbing each other. The pool has few people, clear water, and complete supporting facilities. The hotel also has designs and facilities that cater to children.

Shandong actually has quite a few options for Marriott's Q1 room-booking mecca, such as Yantai, Zibo, Liaocheng, and Qingdao, which has the largest number of Marriott hotels. I stayed at the Westin (Picture 2⃣️3⃣️), Le Méridien (Picture 4⃣️5⃣️6⃣️) and Four Points Sheraton (Picture 7⃣️8⃣️9⃣️) on the West Coast several times during the off-season in winter. Given that the prices were very close (around 300), I made a brief comparison -- 🎁 Member benefits and services: Le Méridien > Westin > Four Points Sheraton The service attitudes of the three hotels were all OK, and they all took the initiative to upgrade the suites; Le Méridien put welcome fruits in advance, the buffet dinner was not available in the lounge, and the lunch boxes used by Westin; Four Points Sheraton had nothing, and strictly implemented the three-choice-one, and no Trip Coins were given after breakfast was ordered. 📍Location: Le Meridien≈Four Points by Sheraton＞Westin The first two are by the sea and have access to the beach. Le Meridien is next to the mangrove scenic area, Four Points by Sheraton is next to the city balcony and has a food court; Westin is more business-oriented, and there is nothing beside it except the convention center. 🛋️Hardware: Westin＞Le Meridien＞Four Points Sheraton Westin is relatively new, with relatively fashionable decoration. The suites have reasonable space layout, complete facilities, and are the most comfortable to live in. The TV can also project the screen; Le Meridien is a little older, and the suites have sea view balconies, but the living room is not used much, and there is not even a TV. The swimming pool is far from the room area, and it is very cold in the winter when you walk to the public corridor; Four Points Sheraton is too old, and the hardware in the suites are all broken and uncomfortable to live in. 🍽️Food: Westin＞Le Meridien≈Four Points Sheraton Although Le Meridien provided dinner, to be honest, the overall quality of the food during the off-season was average, the taste was ordinary, the variety was small, and many dishes could not be kept warm in winter. It felt not much different from the level of Four Points Sheraton; Westin's quality control was relatively better. 🥇Recommendation: Le Meridien≈Westin＞Sheraton Overall, Sheraton has no advantages (maybe it is close to tourist attractions in summer, but it is meaningless in winter or when you come to book a room), so it is eliminated directly. The other two have their own pros and cons. If you just want to stay in the room to watch TV and exercise and swim, choose Westin. If you want a sea view and want to go for a walk on the beach, choose Le Méridien.

Staying experience at the Westin Qingdao West Coast||I have heard for a long time that the Westin West Coast is the most cost-effective Westin in the world. Due to its location near the new district convention and exhibition center, the occupancy rate on weekdays is not high, so it has a high price advantage. This time I found that the price/performance ratio is indeed much better. I stayed in three Marriott hotels in Shandong this time, and Westin was the only one that called to welcome me. I felt the hotel valued me. The call explained that if the moving-in situation allowed during weekdays, the apartment could be locked in advance. Due to the dry weather, my throat was inflamed, so I asked for extra water and medicine in advance. They were already beautifully arranged when I checked in. Although the hotel is located in a remote area, it is very convenient to get to the hotel after getting off the bus because I only bought the ticket to Qingdao West. It is also close to Le Meridien the next day. After entering the door, the decoration of the lobby is quite beautiful. The wooden style is pleasing to the eye. As for food and beverage, the lounge is probably closed on weekdays, so we had dinner delivered. The quality of the food delivery was average, but it was understandable that the buffet dinner was not open because there were too few guests. The breakfast delivered the next day was quite remarkable, with a wide variety of options. The Western pastries were just the right amount of sweetness and their freshness was guaranteed. The Chinese food was also quite tasty, with local characteristics and was no worse than the food you would eat in the city. The hotel's various equipments are very new, the spare parts are of good quality, and they also support mobile room cards. The suites have high square tables, which are very convenient for dining. Overall, it is a very good Westin product. If you don't like visiting tourist attractions when traveling, or if you want a high reimbursement amount for taxi fares on business trips, this app is worth recommending hhh.

✨Qingdao West Coast Westin✨Stay Experience🏨 Services 💁 As soon as you get off the car at the hotel🏨, someone will help you take your suitcase🧳 and take it to the front desk for registration. They will also share interesting places nearby. On the first day of your stay, you will receive a fruit plate🍉 Room 🏠 Bathtub, weighing scale... very friendly to ladies 💃🏼 Safe, ironing board, umbrella☂️... small details for business people are also in place [Yeah] Packages🏊 There are swimming pools and gyms. They look luxurious in the photos. But we only experienced the buffet breakfast in the hotel. The environment is very good, but there are too many people and the dishes cannot be replenished in time. Of course, what else do you want at this price? (68/person for a la carte) Attractions 🌊 The more famous Golden Beach and Silver Beach, but it takes 1 hour [Facepalm] The nearest beach is the Navy Park. It costs 10 yuan to take a taxi. There are few people [!] I think it is better than other beaches [Grin][Grin][Grin]

Westin Qingdao West Coast: A great choice for winter I visited Qingdao during the off-season and stayed at the unforgettable Westin Qingdao West Coast. It was great value for money, costing only CNY 300 for an excellent experience. The hotel is a little far from Qingdao West Railway Station. There are malls and restaurants nearby, but they look a little old. However, the nearby Navy Park is a highlight, and guests can take a stroll there. The service was excellent. From the phone call before check-in to the warm welcome and generous arrangements at the front desk, the 100 m² spacious suite was a pleasant surprise. The manager not only professionally recommended nearby attractions, but also introduced the hotel in detail. The communication was warm and friendly. The housekeeper's greeting was also very pleasant. The food was excellent. The happy hour at the lounge offered 6 hot dishes and 4 cold dishes. The food was delicious, the spicy shrimp was memorable, and the chicken drumsticks were filling. The lounge was quiet. The breakfast was of the same high quality as other Marriott hotels, and the staff were enthusiastic. The 100 m² deluxe suite was spacious, and the unique floor spacing design made the room feel spacious and grand. The small dining table added a touch of warmth and convenience. In short, my trip to Qingdao during the off-season was made even more wonderful by the Westin Qingdao West Coast. I highly recommend it.

|The hotel facilities are well maintained. The lobby lights are designed with fishing nets, which is unique. The hotel bar service is good, the meals are generally good, but it's a pity that there is only one type of white wine to choose from. However, the taste is acceptable and popular. The room facilities are at a normal level, but the view outside the window is a bit ordinary. As a seaside hotel, it's a pity that you can't see the sea. If you want to go to the beach, you need to walk about 1 kilometer, it is recommended to drive. The breakfast is very good, cost-effective, and the price is right. Overall, this hotel is worth about 600 yuan. Service💁 There are people to help with luggage🧳 at the hotel entrance. They will take you to the front desk for registration and share fun places nearby. There will be a fruit plate for the first day of check-in🍉 Room🏠 Bathtub, weight scale... very friendly to ladies💃🏼 Safe, ironing board, umbrella... small details for business people are also in place Facilities🏊 There are swimming pools and gyms. The photos look luxurious, but we only had breakfast at the hotel. The environment is good, but there are too many people and the dishes cannot be replenished in time. Of course, what else do you want at this price (68/person for a la carte) Attractions🌊 The famous Golden Beach and Silver Beach are about 1 hour away. The nearest sea is the Navy Park. It costs 10 yuan by taxi. There are few people! I think the experience is better than other beaches.

📍For a person who is a hotel control and hotel management major and has been studying and working in Qingdao for 6 years🌊, I have stayed in all the group brand hotels in Qingdao. This time I will share my experience. I think the advantages and disadvantages of Qingdao hotels are summarized for all Qingdao's friends are a reference to sum up in one sentence without nonsense 📍Qingdao Westin: The top hotel before St. Regis came out. The location is first-class. May Fourth Square is close to MixC. It is old. If you don't stay in a room above the 50th floor, there is no need to choose it. 📍The St. Regis Qingdao: A landmark after its opening. Many people complained about the poor service but it did not hinder its status and first-class scenery. It is close to Badaguan and Haitian Mall. It is convenient to go anywhere. The top brand is still the top brand. If you are not short of money, you must go there. 📍Qingdao Shangri-La: First-tier location but the scenery is not as good as Westin. Please stay in Phase 2 instead of Phase 1. Qingdao Haier InterContinental: First-line Olympic Sailing Center view but a bit old. Not recommended if you don't stay in the Olympic Sailing Center view room 📍Qingdao Yizhong Crown Hotel: Too old but close to the old commercial area of ​​Macalline Zhangzhou Road, Yanerdao Road, Hong Kong Middle Road, it is not recommended to stay here for tourism 📍 Holiday Inn Qingdao City Center: a great choice for business and travel 📍Le Meridien Qingdao: Close to CBD, cost-effective but business style without Le Meridien quality 📍Licang Sheraton: The interior is very impressive, close to the business district, first-line lake view [Chengyang District] 📍 Chengyang Four Points by Sheraton: Once the god of Liuting transit, now I don’t know where to get customers 【Jiaozhou】 📍Jiaozhou Sheraton: A brand hotel near Jiaodong Airport. Very generous to members. There is also an outdoor swimming pool. The rooms are old but large. 【Huangdao District】 📍Golden Beach Hilton: Don't go if there's a wedding, don't go if there's a beer festival, don't go if there's an event, don't go if there's a group, don't go 📍The Hanbi Tower: If you are not short of money and like to live in seclusion 📍Taicheng Sheraton: The top hotel in Binhai Avenue business district, a fusion of business and holiday styles 📍Qingdao Longhe Le Méridien Hotel: Huangdao is the most cost-effective and worth going to. Ignore the service and old scenery of the north. First-line room bathtub. First-line room facilities. Third-line service. Eighteenth-line 📍Four Points by Sheraton Qingdao: No service in the wet market. Cheap suites are available. Basic room types are like coffins. 📍Qingdao Xingguang Island Crowne Plaza: first-line sea view, second-line room, first-line service 📍Hilton DoubleTree by Hilton Qingdao Xingguang Island: Except for the delicious cookies, it can't compare with Crowne Plaza 📍Qingdao West Coast Westin Hotel: Don't choose the cheapest Westin when traveling far away. You can go to the room and the bathtub is good.

The Spring Festival has a long holiday, and a nearby tour is a good choice! The West Coast Westin Hotel is more than 50 kilometers away from the center of Qingdao, and the location is relatively remote. The location of the hotel is equipped with the World Expo City International Exhibition Center and Conference Center, the location is biased but has great potential. At present, the subway entrance is relatively far away, and public transportation is not very convenient! The hotel's exterior is round, the hotel lobby and public areas are typical holiday style, mainly in dark orange, with some areas supplemented by gray-blue, decorated with many art decorations, and inherits some of the characteristics of the Westin brand, worth admiring. The place for CI is on the right side of the lobby. I didn't upgrade to the suite that day. I stayed in the executive twin room on the 8th floor. The room has a large floor-to-ceiling glass window. It is very comfortable to bathe in the sun in the room in winter. The room can enjoy a very good view of the hotel and the surrounding area! The quality of breakfast is quite high, radish beef brisket, cabbage prawns, freshly made beef patties, pancake fruit, etc. are all good, as well as shrimp dumplings, wontons, etc .; fruits and bread are also very rich. The gym and swimming pool are arranged on the sixth floor, which is very outstanding. The design style of the gym is also great, the area is very large, divided into several different areas, even if several waves of people can not interfere with each other. There are very few people in the swimming pool, the water quality is clear, there is no obvious disinfectant taste and taste, good reviews, and the supporting facilities are complete. The surrounding facilities are relatively poor, there is a distance from the seaside, and the traffic is not very convenient compared to it. The subway has not yet been connected to the city. Fortunately, there are direct buses and buses to the airport and West Station respectively. There are also transferable buses to Qingdao city, but it is more suitable for self-driving, and it is more convenient to go to Starlight Island, Rongchuang Mao, and City Balcony. The hotel's hardware and software are very good, comfortable to eat and live, the service is in place, the price is affordable, despite the inconvenience of public transportation, it is still a good choice for a holiday hotel!

The Westin Qingdao West Coast opened in 2019. This hotel has had a historical low price of 291 for one night during the off-season, and with activities and welcome points stacked, it's almost like staying for free. This time, the cost of staying was reduced to under 400 by taking advantage of the Q3 event, and the cost-effectiveness of staying in September was also very high. Check-in time: 9.15 Reserved room type: Vitality Twin Bed (490) with breakfast (560) Actual room type: Executive King Room (820) Stacked activities: Q3 stay 1500 each time, three brands 3000 (can be counted as one thousand points each time), welcome points 500 (gold member). Approximately equivalent to 150 yuan. Accommodation: 8/10 The executive king room I stayed in this time reached more than 60 square meters, the bathroom area in the room is very large, it feels like it takes up 40% of the entire room. There is also a separate cloakroom in the room, which is not very useful. The bedding for living is to be praised first, especially the quilt cover, which feels very comfortable. Because it is a new hotel in 19 years, the facilities are very new. The only drawback is that the TV feels like an old Philips model, the clarity is poor, and the remote control is not very sensitive. You have to press it several times in a row to respond. A part of the ground is carpeted with wood-grain bricks. To be honest, it is difficult to take care of hotels with carpets. You don't even know if the aunt has cleaned the carpet this time, so I prefer hotels with ceramic tiles. Hotel environment: 7/10 The hotel has a sense of design, the gym and swimming pool are on the 6th floor, and the facilities are quite complete just by looking at them. After going out, there are two intersections to the Navy Park, where you can take your kids to play on the beach. To the north is the convention and exhibition center, and the entire surrounding area is developed by China Railway Group. There are also convenience stores in the nearby community. Westin Hotel Qingdao

Qingdao Huangdao District is densely packed with first-class hotels. So you can use them at low prices. During this holiday season, I visited The Westin, a hotel located in Huangdao. Overall, it was clean and had good service, and as expected, the cost-effectiveness was also quite good, as expected from the region. The club lounge didn't have many kinds of food, but it was edible and the quiet atmosphere was nice. The only flaw was the swimming pool.. The cleanliness and facilities were good, but the water was very cold, and especially, the opening hours were from 11am to 8pm, which was a bit disappointing for me, who enjoys exercising early in the morning. #Ho-kang-seu #China #Qingdao #Westin

#tigeryear2022 #staycation the place is absolutely beautiful!

The service at the Westin is absolutely amazing. I spend lots of time in various hotels around the world but the service I got here was mind blowing. Never have I experienced hotel staff go out of their way to help, serve and make a great effort to speak English. All the staff was great. The food was very especially the breakfast and the buffet dinner is a must. Thank you to everyone at THE WESTIN QINGDAO WEST COAST #tigeryear2022 100% EXCELLENT
